They used to go on top of the column, so they probably aren't too far under the carpet in the footwell.

Only seen a red and blue wire under the sill plate. I'll have to hop in back and see where the wire loom comes in. Things may have been moved when the rear wheel wells were tubbed out.
I added to the wires from the switch on the column and used the hole for the shifter cable to go to the T5 transmission
Got a little bit of time to poke around the column and the only 2 wires that go into the switch at the base are black/wht stripe and red/blk stripe. I felt all around the switch and nothing else runs to it. Can I tap into the green wire any where in the chain? It looks like that blue wire runs into the fuse box, so could I tap into that from there?
Got it!! I ran a wire from the back up fuse and from the light green wire terminal at the fuse box harness to the switch. Got 14g wire to replace those old switch wires at the shifter.
If you look at the photo I posted on the first page you can see that the two wires that go to the reverse light switch are blue and green. Whenever I try to wire stuff I always make sure I use the original colors if I can.
I dropped the column and couldn't find those 2 wires. Only ones I found were black/red stripe and red/black stripe. It looked like the last owner had them hooked up at some point as the 2 wires that run to the shifter were cut. I am planning on looking behind the fuse box to find that blue wire and tap into that.
